I fully support the BoifromTroy ^[1] in his campaign to oppose the “decency” restrictions on cable and satellite stations being proposed by the Bush Administration and the National Association of Broadcasters. Besides the obvious — that people censoring what we watch in the name of their “moral values” is anti-freedom and frequently hypocritical – I suspect something else is afoot: greed. Those “licentious” cable channels are just making too much money for the stodgy old networks.

I’ll make my own decisions about what I watch, thank you, and my wife and I will decide for our six-and-half-year old daughter. As BoifromTroy asks, what do we have those V-chips for anyway?

UPDATE: Pieter Dorsman ^[2] has more on the V-Chip and even news of the hitherto unknown N-Chip ^[3]. [Does he know you have a Pamela Anderson ad?-ed I don't know, but I know somebody ^[4] who does.]
